Timokine Eye Drop is used to treat elevated intraocular pressure (high pressure inside the eye) in people with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Timokine Eye Drop is a beta blocker that helps reduce the risk of vision loss in people with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. It lowers the pressure in the eye by decreasing the production of fluid. Always wash your hands before using Timokine Eye Drop. Use only the number of drops that your doctor has prescribed. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. If you are also using other eye medicines, wait for at least 10 minutes before using them. Read the leaflet that comes with the medicine for a full guide on how to use the drops and get the most benefit. Do not touch the tip of the dropper or bottle with anything as this may lead to infection. You should use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit and it is best used at the same time(s) each day. If you want to stop using it, consult your doctor first. The most common side effects are burning and stinging sensations in the eye. Consult your doctor if you are bothered by these or any other side effects.
Timokine Eye Drop is a beta blocker. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
What does Timokine Eye Drop do?
Timokine Eye Drop reduces intraocular pressure, which helps prevent damage to the optic nerve responsible for vision. Uncontrolled intraocular pressure can lead to gradual vision loss over time. Timokine Eye Drop effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing eye pressure.
How should you use Timokine Eye Drop?
Timokine Eye Drop is typically instilled once or twice daily at evenly spaced intervals until the eye pressure is controlled (approximately 4 weeks). After that, it can be instilled once a day or as directed by your doctor. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and consult with them if you have any questions. It is important to use Timokine Eye Drop as prescribed by your doctor.
Can I stop using Timokine Eye Drop if I am feeling well now?
No, you should not discontinue Timokine Eye Drop without consulting your doctor. If you abruptly stop using the medicine, eye pressure may not be adequately controlled, increasing the risk of vision loss.
When should I seek a doctor's advice?
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience an eye infection, conjunctivitis, or eyelid reaction. Additionally, inform them if you have an eye injury or underwent any eye surgery. It is recommended to discuss continued use of Timokine Eye Drop with your doctor.
Can I use Timokine Eye Drop while wearing contact lenses?
No, you should remove your contact lenses before instilling Timokine Eye Drop. You can reinsert your contact lenses 15 minutes after using the drops. Consult with your doctor if you experience persistent eye irritation.
